Correct, for the 6.4L 392, 91+ octane is required
Condition When Picked Up at the Dealer?

Picked up mine last Tuesday. 19 miles @ delivery and spotless
Ordered mine 12/7/21, price tag was $76,280.00. It showed up 4/9/21 with 48 miles on it and dirty. I refused it, got my deposit refunded, and promptly ordered a new one! Hoping for better luck this time around.
The first 100 miles on the SRT engines are critical. I want to be the one to put as many of them on as possible.

Wow! I thought about doing the same if mine arrives in less than stellar shape. I would hesitate to do it since the production of these vehicles takes so long and may be limited to only this year (rumor).
Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see. They will probably make these until the molds break. The Bronco/Bronco Warthog is hot on Jeep's tail !! And the Tesla Cybertruck will take a chunk out of both of their sales !!
Also, consider that we waited 5 months for the first 392 to be made because they were new to the production line. Now that they are being made, time from order to delivery should drop significantly - I think [HOPE]!
Anyways, I orderd one, it was recieved and refused. I am giving Jeep another chance, and will continue to enjoy my loaded 2019 Raptor until it gets here ! (Yes I am trading my Raptor on a Jeep, and yes I have owned a Jeep before, and Yes the Raptor is way better in every regard. I just always wanted a V8 Jeep, so... why not right! You only live once [and the wife said it was Okay!! BONUS !!].)

You may be right. The only reason why I believe some of the limited production rumor, is because the V8 is dying a slow death (the Warthog may never happen), the federal government can come and tell car manufacturers to stop production of high HP vehicles and crank production of hybrids/electric vehicles, and this article below:
"PSA Group CEO Carlos Tavares, who becomes CEO of Stellantis, has a history of turning brands and companies around with tough cost targets and the discipline to axe where necessary."

If they replace with with an AWD Peugeot hot hatch I guess I will forgive them!
How long did it take you to get it from the time of order?
I didn’t mention this, but I had a sticker on the drivers window stating that the vehicle had been driven (not to exceed 65 miles) as a random quality assurance process.
my odometer was at 56 when I picked it up.

My 392 had 26 miles on it. Dirty and lots of pebbles in crevices.

We are going to have to give Jeep hell about this! Damnit! They need to stop this because it is completely unacceptable! Losing my patience. Jeep may not be directly responsible but a memo needs to be sent to kids working at the Toledo plant (dealers don't seem to be responsible) to stop! These engines need an appropriate break-in period.

It’s unfortunate and worrisome hearing that many of these are showing up with mileage and dirt, etc.. Not sure what, if anything, could be done about it. Personally, I think I’ll be rejecting delivery if it shows up dirty with mileage(15+? What’s acceptable to you?)on it. Sad but true. Hoping for the best!
edit: I’ll also reject delivery if it shows up with a window sticker stating it was driven in a random quality assurance process like @Truckdriver described. +56miles!
@Okie 392 with 78miles! WTH is that? Anyone else have this happen?

I'm trying to consider what would be acceptable. I think @unnaturalone may be right. 20 miles should be the max I should accept and stick by that. Jeep knows this is a highly desirable vehicle and are counting on people just taking it. I wonder if the same was done with the Hellcat or Demon Calengers? I doubt it.
I had one of the first built 392's so I can kind of understand being tested. The dealer showed me a sticker where it was tested by Jeep. They cleaned the floor board and it looked like it should have. I now have over 500 miles on it and have found no issues with it. I would have preferred it not have any miles on it, but I wasn't going to wait another 6 months to save 60 miles on the odometer. The dealer did give me a lifetime engine warranty and added 78 miles to the factory warranty. I am happy with the vehicle and the dealer.
I would (probably) accept a “lifetime” engine/powertrain warranty. Good deal.
I think 20 or under is the number. 10 or less ideal.
All other new vehicles we’ve purchased have had 10 or less and looked immaculate.

I hope they follow correct break-in process when they test them. They very likely do.
I'm sure other car manufacturers do the same thing with new models. I will probably follow one of the Bronco forums to see if some of the new Broncos are also arriving with 50+ miles.
Like anyone who didnt get in the driver's seat of one first didn't floor it?

In November 2017 I ordered a 2018 TrackHawk which was delivered exactly two months later to the day with 76 miles on it with no indication that it was singled out for additional quality scrutiny. Funny thing is that the the Conner Plant where it was built in downtown Detroit is only 20 miles or so from the dealership in Clinton Township, MI where I bought the vehicle. I have not had any issues with the TrackHawk and the only thing I've taken it to the dealer for are the "Jeep Wave" services. According to the owner's manual the break-in period for the 6.2 Liter TrackHawk/HellCat motor is 1500 miles in milage increments that gradually build up on allowable RPM and speed maximums. Haven't seen an owners manual for a vehicle with a 392 in it for the break-in guidance so if someone has that I think we all would appreciate if you would share with us please.
